Colour psychology is a popular buzz word in the world of interiors and rightly so. Colour can majorly effect how we feel within our homes so it’s important to choose a palette that works for you. Traditionally, uplifting colours include yellow, orange and green but you should be putting more emphasis on what makes you feel good as an individual.
Declutter and organise

Be mindful of the things you surround yourself with. Style your living room with tactile materials and recycled goods that will make you feel good. An uplifting coffee table book or two will not only look chic, but inspire you, too. Lighting candles is also a great way to make you feel happy and calm at home.
Bring the outside in
